Life The Flopnuts Fatties Thread - Page 29

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 08:38 AM

I'm going to be an attention whore on this. For those of you who don't know me, I'm a morbidly obese individual. I grew up overweight. Like, as long as I can remember. In the beginning of 2008 a weight loss thread started. I decided for the first time in my life I was going to go see a doctor and try and take off some weight. I was 450lbs.

I learned how incredibly ignorant I was to health, fitness, and food. Over the course of a year and a half or so, I lost 185lbs. I went from someone who had never been able to run a mile in his life, to someone who ran 30-40 miles a week. I have a framed picture of myself completing my first 5k, and it was one of the proudest moments in my life.

In August of 2010 my wife and I decided to move to Branson, MO from Seattle, WA. I've lived here before, and wanted to come back. I've never really drank in my life because I come from a long line of alcoholics. I chose a different poison, and always smoked pot. (Yeah, lost 185lbs with the ****ing munchies every day. Go me!)

Needless to say, I started drinking when I got down here because the pot was horrible, and eventually stopped running. When I stopped running, I started gaining weight. Today, 2 years later, I weigh approximately 380lbs. I say approximately because frankly, I would have to find a freight scale to weigh myself.

Today is the day it all begins again. I thought long and hard about putting myself out there on this board, because it has changed so much since I did this the first time. But it was such a great release for me, and an insane source of positive encouragement, and valuable information that I decided to do it.

I also know that all that weight I lost inspired a few others on this board to do it as well. My understanding is that they have all kept that weight off. I'm hoping to replicate those achievements with some current fatties out there. Let's band together! Let's learn, and fight, and be who we want to be, rather than who we are right now.

I'm going to post before and after pictures in the next post. My before and after is a little different though. I'm going to post pictures of me at 265, and one of me today. I look forward to posting my after-after picture at the end of the year. I am going to lose 100lbs+ before this year is over. My goal, is to weigh 250lbs by January 1st. That would be the same weight I was at in the 8th grade. Public accountability is a big part of why I was so successful before I think. The idea of putting this up and being the same or worse by year's end is disgusting. I believe it will help me. I will be bumping this thread perhaps on a daily basis. It worked the last time.

Who's with me? Who is ready to put in the blood, sweat, and tears necessary to change your life forever? If I'm alone, I'm alone. But I hope some of you will join me in the battle of the bulge. We'll call it "Custard's last stand"! And to anyone who wants to talk shit to me, about me, or whatever, bring it on. It fuels me.

GO!!!

The rest will make a nice breakfast with some eggs after an asskicking workout in the morning.

You have to have few cheat days in any diet to avoid falling off the wagon.

No you don't.

246 days strong for me.

Mr. Plow · 09-04-2012, 01:53 PM

Well, I officially get started today after 10+ days of feeling like shit. Going to head home right after work, put on my spandex and get out for a run. Don't know how far I"ll make it, but I've got to start somewhere.

Mmmmm.....

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 09-04-2012, 04:42 PM

Really tryin to push right now. I'm low as ****. This really is a shitty feeling. I hope it passes quickly. Didn't get out and exercise this morning, but my bodybugg has me pinned to burn up right around 4000 calories today so the walking around at work added up to something at least. Diet is mostly on point. Carbs aren't at 20 or less, but they are usually around 25-26. It's my coffee that's doing it. Veggies is where I'm getting the lion's share of them from though.

I have also been eating too much. 1600-1800 calories a day instead of the 1000-1200 I'm trying to stick too. I need to ramp it up and start doing more than this brisk walk that I have going on. I think it's elliptical machine time, and I'll be curious to see how quickly I adapt to it. I'm coming out of the gate with resistance this time, so it will be tough regardless. I just can't wait for this carb flu to go away.

**Bwana** · 09-04-2012, 05:23 PM

Alright nuts, it's on! Post Labor Day Q and beverage done with, lets roll. It's time to smoke the "summer beer and Q 25."

Mr. Plow · 09-05-2012, 07:29 PM

Well, two straight days of jogging. Tried to eat a little bit better today as well.

To be clear fiber doesn't count against your carbs. Not sure if you're counting those.

Spott · 09-05-2012, 08:29 PM

I've lost 22lbs since I started going the gym full time along with running a couple of miles 4-5 times a week. I was 183 last fall which is the biggest I've ever been and now I'm at 161. Too bad this thread wasn't started last year because I doubt I can lose much more.

**KcMizzou** · 09-05-2012, 11:26 PM

I wasn't in on this at the start. But I'm a fat dude. 5' 11" about 250 lbs. I eat shitty food, but not much of it. It's usually one meal a day for me. (just before bed) But... I drink a shit load of crappy beer... nightly. That's where the majority of my calories come from.

I think I've got gout. I've got this terrible pain right at the joint where my big toe meets my foot, and it's the second time. Last time, I thought I had a bone bruise, because I had recently (drunkenly) stubbed my toe running up the stairs.

Now that I have that same pain again, and nothing happened... I'm pretty sure that's what it is. It's difficult to walk, and it just popped up in the middle of the day. Anyone have any experience with it?

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 09-06-2012, 04:59 PM

Jesus. How long does this last? I ****ing hate feeling all lethargic every day. I haven't exercised in 3 days. Today I got called into work, and got a huge promotion so that was well worth it. I WILL get out in the morning and sweat, but I'm really looking forward to this shit going away. I'm trying to treat it like detox, but detox shouldn't take forever...

I wish I did know. Talk to a doctor definitely. I know at 450 I was miserable from all sorts of odd pains. I'd love to see you in this with us, B. Let me know if I can add your name to the list.

Depends on how big you are and how much you went off the deep end. Took me about a week.

When I did Atkins is took 3-5 days to get over the hump.

It all depends on how far you have to go to change your life to keep it off. I only had to it for a few weeks before I didn't need to do it. At this point only a few times a year usually around the holidays the homemade stuff is hard to pass up.
